Ears are buzzing and you can't hear clearly?

Many people have had this experience before, that is, the ears suddenly have a buzzing phenomenon. In fact, there are many reasons for buzzing in the ears. It may be caused by getting angry, or it may be a symptom of sensorineural hearing loss. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital for examination actively. After confirming the cause, timely treatment should be carried out. Generally, the sooner the disease is treated, the better, otherwise the condition will worsen.

Common causes and precautions of tinnitus:

1. Noise: Explosive noise and long-term exposure to noise can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus. High-risk groups (working in high-intensity noise environments) should pay attention to noise protection. Such as reducing noise sources or wearing protective earmuffs, earplugs, etc. In addition, be careful not to use your headphones for a long time or at a high volume in a noisy environment.

2. Mental stress and fatigue: Long-term high mental stress and physical fatigue can easily aggravate tinnitus. Therefore, it is beneficial to adjust the work rhythm appropriately, relax the emotions of tinnitus patients, and divert attention from tinnitus.

3. Special medicines: When patients with tinnitus seek medical treatment for other diseases, please do not forget to tell the doctor that they suffer from tinnitus. Some medications can make tinnitus worse.

4. Bad habits: Caffeine and alcohol can often aggravate tinnitus symptoms: Smoking can reduce blood oxygen, and the inner ear hair cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen, so hypoxia can cause damage to the hair cells, so pay attention to changing bad habits.

Although there is no special prevention and treatment for tinnitus, according to traditional Chinese medicine, attention should be paid to diet or tinnitus can be "eaten away".

It is important to reduce fatty and sweet foods to prevent stagnation of phlegm and worsening of the condition. For those who suffer from tinnitus and deafness due to kidney deficiency, they should pay special attention to their work and rest schedule and reduce the intake of warm and dry foods. Patients with spleen deficiency should pay special attention to dietary conditioning and should avoid stimulating beverages such as strong tea, coffee, cocoa, and alcohol.

Here are some dietary guidelines for preventing and reducing tinnitus.

1. Reduce fat intake

Excessive intake of lipid foods will increase blood lipids, blood viscosity and cause arteriosclerosis. The inner ear is most sensitive to blood supply disorders. When blood circulation disorders occur, it will lead to lack of nutrition for the auditory nerve, thus causing deafness.

The total daily fat intake of middle-aged people should be controlled at about 40 grams, and they should eat less lipid-rich foods such as various animal offal, fat, cream, egg yolks, caviar, fried foods, etc.

2. Eat more iron-rich foods

Iron deficiency can easily cause red blood cells to harden, reducing their ability to transport oxygen and resulting in insufficient nutrient supply to the ears. This can damage the function of auditory cells and lead to hearing loss. Iron supplementation can effectively prevent and delay the occurrence of tinnitus and deafness in middle-aged and elderly people.

For people over 45 years old, regardless of gender, the daily iron intake should not be less than 12 mg.

Among common foods, nori contains a lot of iron. Every 100 grams of nori contains 46.8 mg of iron, while dried shrimp contains 16.5 mg, jellyfish skin contains 17.6 mg, black sesame contains 26.3 mg, day lily contains 12.6 mg, black fungus contains 11.9 mg, and amaranth contains 10.5 mg. The iron content of coriander and wood ear is second only to amaranth. The average iron content of soy products is about 4 to 6 mg.

3. Eat more zinc-containing foods

There are many factors that lead to tinnitus and deafness in middle-aged and elderly people, and zinc deficiency is an important cause. The zinc content in the cochlea is much higher than in other organs. The zinc content in the cochlea of ​​elderly people over 60 years old is significantly reduced, which affects the function of the cochlea and causes hearing loss.

You should eat more zinc-rich foods every day, such as fish, beef, chicken, eggs, various seafood, apples, oranges, walnuts, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, etc.

4. Eat foods that promote blood circulation

Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can dilate blood vessels, improve blood viscosity, and help maintain normal microcirculation of small blood vessels in the ear.

You can often eat black fungus, leeks, red wine, rice wine, etc.

5. Develop a habit of drinking milk

Milk contains almost all known vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E and carotene.
